Aderant vs TimeSolv (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Aderant if

• Fits if you run a large firm and need time capture and billing compliance
• Works for firms that want docketing and finance from one vendor

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you're a small firm needing intake and a client portal
• Skip it if you want a price first, as the site only offers a demo
• Watch out: products are sold separately, so you build the set yourself
• Watch out: the pages don't list supported desktop or mobile platforms

Pick TimeSolv if

• Fits if you mostly need to track hours and send clean invoices
• Works for small firms that want trust accounting alongside billing

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to see per-user prices up front, as the page doesn't show them
• Tight if you need e-signatures or document sharing, which cost extra
• Pricey if you want CRM and intake: $147 a month for up to 3 users billed annually, $177 monthly
• Watch out: the site advertises 25% off the first year, so the price after that is a different number

Aderant

• No prices are published, and the site routes visitors to a demo request, so costs cannot be compared in advance.
• Aderant is aimed at firm operations: it lists Am Law 200 and global firm customers, and is not a small-firm intake and client-portal product.
• Several of its products are sold separately, so a firm assembles the set it needs.
• The product pages read do not list supported desktop or mobile platforms; Expert Sierra is described as hosted on AWS and mobile-friendly.

TimeSolv

• Per-user plan prices are not readable on the pricing page as served (Pro and Legal columns), so pricing is unverified; volume pricing is via sales.
• The site advertises 25% off the first year on an annual plan and off the first four months on a monthly plan.
• CRM and intake costs $147 a month billed annually for up to 3 users ($177 month to month); the law firm website is $149 billed annually ($159 monthly).
• E-signatures and secure document sharing are a paid add-on.
